Woman in Vail Kidnapped Herself

31-year-old Linnea Hayda was found in a dumpster in Vail on March 27th with her hands zip tied....in front of her. She explained to law enforcement at that time that she was the victim of a kidnapping. As a result, police issued an alert to the community and spent more than 200 hours on what turned out to be a false report.

Hayda has been charged with attempting to influence a public servant, tampering with physical evidence and misdemeanor false reporting to police. She has posted a $7,500 bond.
